Makeup and Vanity Set - Wilderness // Limited to 250 Black Vinyl LPs

Oh, how cold and lifeless art thouÂ 1’s and 0’s, all ye midi files and Fruity Loops, Roland D-50s and 808s…harbingers of plastic disconnect. Â At first glance, the future of synthetic music would seem bleak and even unimaginative, but when its potential isÂ fully realized,Â the authenticityÂ and intimacy in the music is as real as the warmthÂ of your hand. Â Makeup and Vanity Set make that kind of electronic music.

With the help of Jasmin Kaset on first available track Hand in Hand, the group embarks on a sci-fi concept album about outliving death through technology. Â It’s a bold and even plausible future considering our intellectual progress within the last 100 years alone, but could our advancements end up doing more harm than good? Â Are we developing or devolving? Â Perhaps Wilderness has an answer for us.

Fans of Bat For Lashes, Kate Bush and Niki and the Dove should bend an ear, cop a listen and shell out some currency. Â Space…the vinyl frontier.

On occasion, David can be seen crate-digging various Austin record stores in hopes of finding an original vinyl pressing of some obscure post-punk band. In 1986, David experienced his first heartbreak when the Houston Astros blew the National League Championship Series to the New York Mets. Austin has been his home since he was born, not because of his unwillingness to explore new terrain, but because it is the finest town a hopeless music lover and taco enthusiast could ever imagine.
